Well would you believe it? There I was sat on my couch balancing a plate of egg and chips on my knee when his face flashed all over the news. Didn't do much for my carpet I can tell you, egg yolk stains are a devil to remove, not to mention the ketchup spillage. But I digress. There was our Tony in a naval officers uniform. Well I had to laugh cos it's been at least ten years since I've seen him out of his oily overalls. Scruffy little blighter he is, not very talkative, even worse since that cow of an ex left him. Took the kids she did without a by or leave. He never spoke of it, all stoical he was. But look at him now.... a Father For Justice, perched on that roof with those others. I'm wiping a tear now. I'm so proud of him. Bugger the egg stain.
